3. (LO 6) A farmer wants to enclose a rectangular area and then divide it into five pens of equal size. They decide to do this by adding four segments of fence inside the large rectangle that are parallel to two existing sides (see figure below). There are 620 feet of fencing available to complete the job. Label the figure with appropriate variable(s). Write an equation for the total area of the five pens in terms of only one varlable (that is, one variable other than area). You do not need to optimize.
